Open to any young person in Ballymena who fancies a kick around, Application Forms can be obtained from the Ballymena North Centre, from any Northend Coach or by printing off a copy on Northend’s website www.northendunitedyouthfc.co.uk

Demand is expected to be high for this course, so early registration is essential.

Northend’s Project Coordinator John Devlin explained: “All at Northend United Youth are delighted to be giving something back to our local community, without whose help, Northend wouldn’t be in the position it is
today.

“We’d also like to thank the Joint Committee of NIPB/DOJ through the Ballymena Policing and Community Safety Partnership for funding and encouraging our new project,” added John.
